Treasurer Deborah Goldberg this week named Sue Perez and Sarah Kim as deputy treasurers for the state of Massachusetts.

Perez was previously assistant treasurer and will continue serving as executive director of the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust and overseeing the commonwealth debt department.

“I am thrilled to continue to work with Sue and to have her serve in this new capacity at Treasury,” Goldberg said in a statement. “I am confident that as deputy treasurer, her in-depth financial background will serve the people of Massachusetts well.”

Kim has served as general counsel to the Office of the State Treasurer and receiver general since the start of Goldberg’s administration. As general counsel, she manages the legal team that provides support to the Treasury.

Perez has more than 25 years of experience in accounting, audit and financial management and is a graduate of the Boston University School of Management. She has been the senior finance director for a $3.4 billion service company and, at the other end of the spectrum, was one of the initial members of a startup company with the responsibility of establishing the finance and human resources departments. Perez was also an auditor at PwC, during which time she received her CPA.

Before joining the Treasury, Kim was an assistant attorney general in the Fraud and Financial Crimes Division under Attorney General Martha Coakley. Previously, she was an attorney in the litigation practice group of Bingham McCutchen LLP (now Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP).

“I am delighted to name Sarah as deputy treasurer,” Goldberg said in a statement. “As general counsel, Sarah has shown remarkable professionalism. Her legal expertise will benefit her greatly.”
